Love Alchemy: A Heart In Winter

Schade das es für Empfehlung nur Ja oder Nein als Option gibt, denn es müsste noch Jein geben. Zum einem machte das Spiel Spaß, auch wenn es schlicht und einfach gehalten wurde. Auch das mit den 2 Enden war eine gute Idee, da es drauf ankam wie man antwortet. Nur finde ich es ziemlich doof gemacht, dass man kurz vor dem Ende des Spiels beim neuen Versuch nicht da wieder anfängt, wo mir Tee angeboten wird, sondern immer die Credits aufploppen, wenn ich auf "Spielen" drücke. Um das andere Ende zu bekommen müsste ich mir also ein neues Profil erstellen und es komplett neu spielen, um da wieder an der Stelle zu kommen, wo ich eine Entscheidung treffen muss. Da ist dann die Situation, dass ich es nicht weiter empfehlen kann.

A pretty simple and small HIO. The story is ok and the overall gameplay a nit repetetive. Still fun for 1-2 hours. It has very few puzzles and there are 2 little translation errors in the HOS. I would rather recommend buying it on sale. I can recommend it

In my opinion, every developer (or publisher) of games like these knows that they're basically evergreens. This was released in 2013 on steam (and is probably older) and, graphics aside, it is still fun to play these days. However, as a dev/pub being fully aware of this, I cannot by the life of me understand why there is no voice over at least for the story parts. Seriously, this (the voice overs) could've been done by an intern and the game would be so much better. Another point I have to criticise is the difficulty of the riddles and puzzles. Most of them are trivial and the others are only slightly more challenging because of a decision to artificially limit choices or link together parts of rotating stuff. But maybe that's just me :) There is one puzzle, however, that is a bit a pain in the rear and if you decide to "get a hint" the game freezes. Sadly, I don't remember which one it was. It seems the original game used another language (possibly Russian?) because in some of those "find something" pictures the stuff you have to find is not translated and uses different letters. tl;dr: All things aside, you'll have a fairly acceptable experience for a hidden object game. However, you might feel a sting here and there.
